Banksy+BNE for World Water Day, by BKBOI on Mar 27, 2014 0:47:56 GMT 1, meh, I probly bended the story fewer times than he has changed his excuses on his site.
I am a dubious person because I got scammed but BNE can never do wrong because he is the modern day Mother Theresa.

Banksy+BNE for World Water Day, by petro on Mar 27, 2014 0:59:47 GMT 1, Seriously, what the hell? Seems pretty simple: If you bought a shirt and are unhappy, get a refund. If you didn't buy a shirt, why are you wasting so much energy being so angry? Do you need help nailing yourself on that big ol' cross you're hauling around? And why do you seem to care so much about what anyone else is doing? If you're not "drinking the kool-aid" why do you care if anyone else does? Why? Why is it so important for you to make sure that everyone else hates BNE as much as you do? That's kind of messed up. Sounds like you have a personal beef with him. If so, that sucks, shame to hear that. Perhaps not spending so much energy being so pissed off about it is a better course of action.

Something very wrong is going on when you ask the simple question, "are the proceeds from the t-shirt sales still going to charity?" and BNE's reaction is to delete the question and block the poster. That is deceit. That is someone who is trying to conceal something. I'm sorry you can't see that. |

But you have been asking for his head for days now, often with towering anger, and it just sounds like you have a beef with him that is greater than a deleted question on the interwebs.

Banksy+BNE for World Water Day, by mmmike on Mar 27, 2014 1:09:07 GMT 1, He is smarter than I thought. Why to I think in you posted more than a couple questions? You didn't make any stupid comments? I didn't. That account only was used for those two questions. Believe or not, but that's the truth. Edit: mmmike—How many lies are you going to put up with? How much deceit? You act like this dude is the reincarnation of Mother Teresa. He's done nothing but lie and mislead people.
If it comes out that for some reason BNE plotted and tried to steal a lot of money then yell and scream but you don't know that is the case. I do know that in the past he has done some great work for charity and offered some cool art at great prices to raise money. Through those campaigns I've learned a lot more about water charities and have supported them as a result. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Why not stick to the facts or better yet wait till they all come out. As BNE has said his operation is him and one other person. I'm sure they are a bit busy.

Banksy+BNE for World Water Day, by Invaded 420 on Mar 27, 2014 1:11:50 GMT 1, So, I asked BNE—very politely, I might add—whether or not he was still donating the t-shirt proceeds to charity and he deleted my questions. Y'all still standing by this d-bag?  Which d-bag? You? I'm sticking with the guy who has devoted his adult life to helping others. In terms of your question, I'm sure BNE doesn't know what the status is not because of any lack of wanting to donate but with this s**t storm the charity have to make sure the funds were collected on the up and up. I'm pretty sure he isn't getting rich off this mess.
well said mike

A crisis that is easily resolved by hitting the paypal claim button and getting the $100 back within hours if not minutes. Personal crisis over.
And bravo too to the others on here that are resisting the knee jerk reaction to join a lynch mob.
Carry on as you are Sargent .

I mean you calling him a thief and making other charges that you might not be able to defend this was a courtroom or publication. I mean you (and others) acting as if BNE somehow personally stole from you or injured you in some way. I mean someone saying he was a worse thief than Bernie Madoff. I believe some perspective might be useful.

I know it will not be easy to get back up from this hole that he dug himself in. I hope that he just be as transparent in the future with all his charitable work. I for one will support Charity Water because it is such a good cause.
Nothing like TM to put things into perspective.
Add edit:
I still have something at stake here since I have not asked for a refund for the lip balm set.

Banksy+BNE for World Water Day, by sconnors13 on Mar 27, 2014 1:58:11 GMT 1, Full disclosure: I bought a shirt and don't really care about seeking a refund as long as the money ends up in its intended place. I really don't care if it's non-profit or not-for-profit. I want to see how this pans out.
Onto my point (which may have been talked about)... Where was Banksy's PR on this? Assuming he keeps a PR firm on retainer. Where was Pest Control? Maybe I missed a statement prior to Saturday's countdown, if so streetartnews and AnimalNY didn't cover it. They had days to reach out to BNE. I've been trying to keep up with BNE on Instagram. I haven't been here yet so I apologize if this is a repeat post.
Either way I think Banksy needs to make some staffing changes.

I saw that. It was published at 3:50PM on Saturday. The sale started at 3pm Saturday. I didn't see however that the email AnimalNY received came from PC Friday afternoon on the 21st.
So, it looks like BNE blew off PC and Banksy's PR. AnimalNY chose to sit on this information until after the sale was live for 50 minutes.
I find the whole thing interesting. That being said I'd love to see a paper of record (NY Times, Guardian etc) dig into this.

Going momentarily off-topic:
“Everything everyone thinks they know about [Mother Teresa] is false. It must be the single most successful emotional con job of the twentieth century.”
“The rich world likes and wishes to believe that someone, somewhere, is doing something for the Third World. For this reason, it does not inquire too closely into the motives or practices of anyone who fulfills, however vicariously, this mandate.”
“MT [Mother Teresa] was not a friend of the poor. She was a friend of poverty. She said that suffering was a gift from God. She spent her life opposing the only known cure for poverty, which is the empowerment of women and the emancipation of them from a livestock version of compulsory reproduction.”

Just get a refund if you are not happy.
